Premier League 2025-26: Battling West Ham United grabs 1-1 draw to Everton

West Ham United fought back on Monday from a goal to move 1-1 to Everton in the Premier League on Monday, where Jarrod Bowen scored when Nuno Espirito Santo took a point in his first game that was in charge of the London side.

With former manager Graham Potter fired on Saturday, the Portuguese coach had little time to work with his new team, but he quickly dropped his authority by midfielder James Ward-Prowse, a player whose loan agreement he ended up early at Nottingham Forest last season.

However, the problems of the London side with set pieces remained because it struck a head of Michael Keane in the 18th minute after a tidy corner had crossed the box back.

Everton went in the second half for almost two hours, but forward Beto could not get a clean attack on the ball, and the follow -up shot by Jake O’Brien was blocked for a corner.

It then dominated the first 20 minutes of the second half, but could not get the ball in the net, and it was punished for his wasteful finish when Bowen took a clearance of the head and cut in before he shot home in the 65th minute.

It was the first goal that was scored in a competitive game on the road side in the new Hill Dickinson Stadium, and the confidence quickly grumbled when the visitor took over.

Bowen left another attempt for a corner in the 72nd minute, but West Ham breathed a sigh of relief ten minutes later, when Konstantinos Mavropanos was punished for pulling the shirt of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, with the referee Everton’s crowds for a Penalty.

West Ham continued to flow forward in search of a second, but despite the positive representation, it had to be satisfied with a point that it leaves four points in 19th place in the rankings. Everton is the ninth with eight points.
